Make Up Games and Concealer


One of the most overused and under appreciated cosmetic, concealer is a way of hiding imperfections. Of course, if you’re going to use concealer, you’ll always want to be careful to use it correctly. After all, concealer can have a few extra tricks of the trade.

Buy One Shade Lighter
When you’re buying concealer, you should always buy concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone. The best way to check is to find a concealer that blends in easily without making a bright spot on the back of your hands or under your eyes. Otherwise you end up with the effect of a giant raccoon eyes – only in reverse.

A Dot Does a Lot
When you’re using concealer, you should only use a dot or two at a time. Don’t swipe it under your eyes. This will likely have the effect of white lines under your eyes. Use a few dots under the eyes and a small dot over the spots you’re trying to cover. Blend it in well and you’ll be set.
